Supervisor Password

If you set a Supervisor Password, some functions might be restricted when

a user logs on with the User Password. To set a Supervisor Password,

execute the file TOSPU.EXE. The file is located at:

C:\Program Files\Toshiba\PasswordUtility\TOSPU.exe

This utility lets you do the following:

■ Register, delete or change the Supervisor Password.

■ Specify restrictions for general users.

Starting the computer by password

If you have already registered a password, there are two ways to start the

computer:

■ Swipe your fingerprint on the sensor if you have already registered the

fingerprint with the Fingerprint utility and enabled Fingerprint System

Boot Authentication. If you would not like to swipe your finger or cannot

authenticate the fingerprint for some reasons, push the BACK SPACE

key to skip the fingerprint authentication screen. You can try to swipe

the fingerprint up to five times. If you failed fingerprint authentication

five times, you must enter the password manually to start the computer.

■ Enter the password manually.

To enter a password manually, follow the steps as detailed below:

1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 3, Getting Started.

The following message will appear in the screen:

S Password=

2. Enter the Password.

3. Press ENTER.

■ If you forget your HDD User Password, TOSHIBA will NOT be able to

assist you, and your HDD will be rendered COMPLETELY and

PERMANENTLY INOPERABLE. TOSHIBA will NOT be held

responsible for any loss of any data, any loss of use or access to your

HDD, or for any other losses to you or any other person or organization

that result from the loss of access to your HDD. If you can’t accept this

risk, don’t register the HDD User Password.

■ When saving the HDD User Password shut down or restart the

computer. If the computer is not shut down or restarted, the saved data

may not be correctly reflected. For more information on shutting down

or restarting the computer, refer to Turning on the power in Chapter 3.

The password is necessary only if the computer was turned off in Shut

Down Mode or Hibernation Mode.

It is not needed in Sleep Mode and Restart.
